Bills-Cards Preview

‘Now to the big picture for the Bills. We might want to put this one in the must win column when it comes to their hopes of making the playoffs. I’m not expecting the Bills to win at Houston(November 4) or New England(November 11) so they need to win Sunday and next week at home over Tennessee to be 4-5 going into the supposed soft portion of the schedule.’

Bills’ Dareus adjusting to life under NFL microscope

‘”It was emotions,” Dareus said. “People don’t want to lose. I’m not from a losing program. I do not want to lose, I hate losing. Emotions flare sometimes. But at the same time, it’s a game. We’re going to go out here and play our butts off. We’re trying to win, and do the best we can for the team, the fans. We’re gonna go out there and bust our butts every time.”‘

‘”[The coaches] pretty much told me on Monday,” the rookie linebacker said Friday. “Got an opportunity to start. Just gotta take it from here and hopefully I can lock the position down and keep it.”‘

Stevie out to revive Bills pulse

‘”We need more enthusiasm,” said Johnson. “I feel like I haven’t provided that. I feel like certain things that I’ve done in the past, I think it helped the guys out more than what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve got to work on that. I don’t want to be so dull to my teammates. I want to show them that emotion to see if we can make a change.”‘

Bills’ Jackson tries to make the most of splitting carries with Spiller

‘”It’s gonna be tough to get guys as many touches as they want because there’s only one football,” Jackson admitted. “I think the thing we can do better is convert third downs [the Bills were only 2 of 10 against the 49ers]. We only had 44 or 45 plays last week [it was 46], so nobody’s going to get the ball if we have drives that are done in three-and-outs and things like that. It’s going to be hard for anybody to get into the flow.”‘

Tashard offers Choice words to teammates

‘”Just our mind-set, it felt like we were lacking our energy,” he said. “The seriousness, the importance of every game, every snap. I wanted them to realize that. We’ve got to continue to feel that, continue to be the aggressor. How we played, I was really disappointed because I know how hard we work during the week. I know what kind of good players we’ve got.”‘

Q&A with Bills fullback Corey McIntyre

‘”I’d probably be in motorsports somewhere,” he said. “I always wanted to, but I never had the opportunity to when I was a kid because we weren’t really financially able to.”‘

Report: Costner to play Bills GM in film

‘”Draft Day,” created by screenwriters Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman, is the story of a Bills GM who has the first overall pick in the NFL draft. He spends draft day wheeling and dealing in an effort to build up the roster and make the franchise respectable again.’

Reality awaits Bills on Sunday

‘The playoffs would be a great step for the Bills, but a spot in the postseason would just be one move in the right direction. Buffalo needs to be a team worth fearing. Given the money they’ve spent on their players, they need to be a team that can do some damage, and not to themselves.’

Ralph Wilson Stadium no ‘rat hole’

‘The dark foyers, with the omnipresent stench of stale beer, can be brightened up. Another video board or two should be on the shopping list. So should a couple of restaurants/bars. And the problem of standing fans blocking the sightlines of those in private boxes could be solved by taking out the last row of the lower bowl. But it is far from a dump. Or a “rat hole.”‘
